The Huskies men’s hockey team will have to kick old habits if it wants to land a spot in the national playoffs. According to head coach Dave Adolph, the team hasn’t performed very well in the second half of the last two regular seasons. “This year our goal is making sure our finish is better than our start,” says Adolph.
Meanwhile, the Huskies women’s hockey head coach Steve Kook doesn’t want to downplay this weekend’s first-place games against the Lethbridge Pronghorns, but he believes the Dogs will have at least four more first-place weekends this season.

Most students are well aware that, while thousands of dollars are going towards tuition and housing costs, thousands more are being blown on alcohol. For the most part, they are okay with that.

The former University of Saskatchewan Huskie was part of the Winnipeg Blue Bomber team that lost to the B.C. Lions in the 99th Grey Cup on Nov. 27. 2011 was Etienne’s rookie season in the CFL.

The University of Saskatchewan Huskies wrestling squad was lucky that Katie Dutchak wasn’t quite yet ready to step off the mat.
The former captain of the Holy Cross High School team and first-year wrestler with the Dogs nearly moved to Missouri this year to take her rodeo career to the next level. However, after a bronze-medal performance in the Canadian junior wrestling finals last year — a finish that she considered lacklustre — she decided that she “wasn’t ready to be done wrestling.”

Unless you live underneath a rock, you’ve probably heard of the Penn State sex abuse scandal that has rocked the football-centric Pennsylvania State University. It has ended football coach Joe Paterno’s 46-year career, and university president Graham Spanier has been fired over it. I’m not a follower of college football or football in general, but I’ve been following this story with unwavering attention. Watching the details of this case unfold, I got spitting mad.

A wild back-and-forth game for the biggest prize in Canadian university football ended with a huge redeeming field goal.
A 20-yard field goal in overtime by Tyler Crapigna gave the McMaster Marauders a 41-38 Vanier Cup victory over the Laval Rouge et Or on Nov. 25. The victory was McMaster’s first Canadian Interuniversity Sport football championship, and it didn’t come easily.
